This is my first pair of Chacos and so far I'm very happy with these sandals. Adjusting the straps took some practice but once I got them right, they fit great. I wear orthotics so the arch support in these sandals is just what I need. I also realized I needed a wide after trying on the first pair I ordered. As always, Zappos customer service was fantastic and the exchange process was seamless.

Fortunately I have a pair that was made before they were bought out and changed materials. After struggling with periodic hip pain, I figured out it's due to my new pairs of Chacos. They're not as supportive as the pair I got in 2008. The sole on the old pair is a denser rubber that gives a bit gives enough support. Now that I've stopped wearing the new Chacos, no more hip pain. Unfortunately, the old footbed is no longer available even directly from the company in Colorado, so I'll have to keep resoling my one old pair. If they work for you great, but if you usually need orthotics and have a pair that's more than 3 years, you may want to have them re-chaco'd instead of spending more money for an inferior version.

I ordered these shoes off Zappos a few weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. When I ordered them, it said it would take several days to get here but they were here in like 2 days. I was totally shocked. And the shoes could not be more perfect. I just love them. They are so perfect to just slip on when you are going somewhere or to hike in or wear in the water.

Best sandals ever. This is my second pair of Chacos and I love them! I really like the stability that comes with the toe strap and being able to adjust the straps. My last pair lasted 6 years and I wore them just about every day from May-September. Keep the straps clean and free moving - sand likes to get wedged in the foot bed, not real big deal though, the comfort offsets any maintenance!

I absolutely love my Chacos! I have wanted them for a while and I finally decided to order them before college! I debated for a while on whether to do double strap or single strap, because I felt like the double strap looked better. I decided to go with the single because the reviews said that the double was more complicated and uncomfortable in adjusting! The single strap looks GREAT. I got them in the Garden pattern and I can't wait to wear them all around campus!

I love my Chacos! They are great for walking, hiking, canoeing, and just being outside! They feel nice and snug on my feet. At first adjusting the straps can be tricky, but after a few times adjusting, they will mold to your feet. They do take some time to break in to. It also takes a day to get used to walking in them. I have the "Garden" color, and they are much nicer green than in the picture. All in all, I love them.

Trying to wear regular sandal with orthotics was so awkward. My sister recommended these and I was so thrilled that I bought a second pair. Love my shoes and love the personal service from Zappos! May go for a 3rd pair.

Love this shoe! I have been looking for a supportive, narrow sandal that works for my large (size 12 foot) for over 2 years. This has satisfied all my hard to fit issues. The arch support is wonderful, I wear custom orthotics so very difficult to find a sandal that works. Thanks Chaco for finally making size 12! I bought 3 pairs in different styles, they are all wonderful but this one is the best for comfort.

I am a pretty solid 7.5, but Chaco doesn't make half sizes (phooey!), so I went with several reviewers' advice to size up in order to have a little toe-stub-prevention space up front. For the most part, I love these shoes! They are comfortable, I feel very stable in them, and they aren't flashy. (I got mine in black: they match everything.) My only complaint is that every week or so I need to horse around the straps a bit so they aren't too tight around my big toes. I think this is more a function of having a slightly too-large size than it is a result of the shoe design itself.

These are really great, comfortable, and sturdy sandals. However, I have had the hardest time adjusting the straps right so they are comfortable, and I've been wearing them for a bit. And I really Whoa, that Chacos made half sizes.

These are the best sandals I have ever owned. I have had foot troubles most of my life and these sandals feel terrific on, plus have a wonderful arch support. Get a pair and feel the difference! You'll love them!

Brands I'd also recommend: These are better than Merrells, Danskos, Columbia... ..

Once again, Zappos has exceeded my expectations by delivering a fantastic pair of Chacos in less than one day! I placed an order one night and the box was in my hands in less than 24 hours. Amazingly fast (and free) service! The Chacos are extremely comfortable, supportive and great for any outdoor activity. A little pricey but totally worth it!

Worth the Money -
Read all reviews for water sandals for a trip to Jamaica. Decided on Chaco's because of the good reviews. Some said they run big, since they don't come in 1/2 sizes ordered a size small, WRONG. They run true to size. Did Mayfields Falls in Jamaica and they were wonderful, and half the people I saw on snorkeling tours had the crossovers tan lines and had raves for them.

I'm a convert to Chaco’s!
I first bought another sandal (brand starts with a T), but was disappointed in the fit. I was scared of the price of Chaco’s, but a friend talked me into them, and I am NOT disappointed.
I love the infinite adjustability of the straps. I have skinny feet, but I'm sure these sandals would fit a wide foot equally well.
One thing that bothered me quite a bit at first was the arch support. It felt too high and/or large. After wearing them everywhere I go for a couple of weeks, though, either my feet are used to them or the sandals are leveling out. They fit quite nicely now.
I like the look of the straps--I can't wait to get a Z-tan! With only one small buckle, the look is simple.

At first the straps were confusing, and I wasn't sure if the shoes were giving me cramps... BUT, they have been wonderful! It was just a learning curve and now they are definitely a staple in the sandal wardrobe.

Better than most other shoes -
While I'm not super excited about my new Chaco’s, I am happy to have them. I have a pretty wide foot and was having difficulty finding any sandal at all, so for that I am grateful to have this comfortable shoe. The only problem is that the toe loop pulls tight sometimes when I walk. Not sure what that's all about, but I would still recommend the shoe, great for active people.

I used to love Chacosandals before they resized them. I have narrow feet and loved the flip flops because a size 8 fit me. Now the 8 is too short, the 9 is too large in the foot. I had to buy the 9 in this sandal but after 2 wearings I found that the placement of the toe strap will never fit. It seems that the strap is set too far back, not allowing my foot to be far forward enough. Very, very uncomfortable.
